To get a permit for your sign, speak with a representative from Dualite’s project management team. Their detailed expertise will make the permitting process as easy as possible for any customer.
Dualite’s project management team is full of personnel who have an understanding of city codes all across the United States. City code is a very important part of the installation process, therefore Dualite only hires subcontractors who have a clear understanding of the requirements for each sign.
Typical permitting application processing is 2-4 weeks in most areas. However, certain regions, municipalities, and larger cities often have a long, extensive permit-processing timeline that involves multiple meetings and hearing. While cases like these can be time consuming, expensive, and frustrating, they are required and Dualite works diligently to keep administrative costs as low as possible for customers.

All of these factors combined allow Dualite to offer highly customized solutions at a value for customers when the need arises.
